The January/February period was dominated by the A-League (noting that there was a small hiatus due to the hosting of the Asian Cup), with the opening rounds of the 2015 Super Rugby season also included. A handful of AFL pre-season games have also made the respective lists.

The Melbourne Victory had the two highest attendances for the period, culminating in the local derby attracting just on 40,000.

The Waratahs were the only other team to attract over 20,000 to a home game, having done so in their season opener against the Force.

On the ratings front, Hawthorn versus Collingwood topped the table with 179,000 for the opening game of the AFL’s pre-season NAB Challenge.

The recent A-League Sydney derby took second spot, with a very healthy 135,000, while the Rebels were able to get 122,000 in their second-round game against the Waratahs, both games being very tight for the duration.

The following month will see the opening rounds of the 2015 NRL season, while the start of the AFL season will occur the month after due to the Cricket World Cup.
